Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
One of the most fertile and unreached mission fields in any community sits very close to, or just down the street from, the local church. It is the public school. Public schools are filled with children, teachers and staff members who live, work and play in the shadow of our steeples. There are 655,642 students... Continue Reading →
Welcome 2017. The year 2016 is now history. This past year ended with lots of church and ministry outreach events. Hot meals were served.

Southern Baptists have a long history of demonstrating compassion to those affected by crisis and loss. In 1984, God moved the hearts of Kentucky Baptists to organize a state disaster relief ministry. From that humble beginning, God has raised up 46 mobile disaster relief units, and trained thousands of volunteers to respond. Disasters are nothing... Continue Reading →
I had the privilege to be in a church recently that has made a deliberate effort to become a sending church. They take seriously the commandment we’ve been given to go and make disciples of all people. It was so exciting to see the progress they were making toward that Biblical goal as they develop...

This past summer the Lord laid on the hearts of a couple of ladies at Pine Hill Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon, KY to have a free clothing give away.
